youtu.be/cYbs_O_iMfU Daily Inspiration - Monday, October 20 If you want to be respected by others the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you. Fyodor Dostoevsky “All I want is a little respect, says Rodney Dangerfield in every routine he does. He tells the audience that no matter what he does, he cannot gain respect. During his act, he seems nervous, shoulders raising up and down, his head jerking to the side. What he says and the way he says it tells people that he is anticipating rejection. While his is an exaggeration to gain the approval of his audience, many of us act similar. We have a difficult time making eye contact when talking to people. Our posture is anything but straight, almost guarded. We are telling others by our tone and body language that we do not believe in ourselves. We except less than we really want and say nothing. We comply with most request made of us without question. In short, we do not value ourselves. You realize that we are all equal. We all deserve the same respect and fair treatment as the next person. It does not matter if we are rich or poor, beautiful or plain, tall or short, we are given the same basic rights as anyone else. It is our responsibility to see that we enforce our rights. It is human nature to take the easiest way out. If we are willing to settle for less, that is all we will get. Respect yourself and others will follow.- THE ACPA
